Dirty Harry scored his team leading 14th goal for the Griffins last night and seems to be making a strong case for a job on the Wings next season. He has cut down on his pims considerably and has actually shown the coaches he can play as well as agitate.

A fourth line of Sheahan Tootoo and Callahan looks an intriguing one which may just happen.

Personally, I think it's more likely that Tootoo ends up getting bought out. I believe there are 3 forwards in GR that are no longer waiver exempt next year right, Callahan, Sheahan, & Ferraro? Making for an interesting race to see who winds up with the big team next year if any with Callahan 7th in scoring for the Griffs and Sheahan & Ferraro tied for 9th.

Was about to post a thread about this, this morning. I don't know why he is consistently overlooked. The guy is tough, works hard, and has an eye for the net. IMO I'de have him on the wings before your generic soft grinder (eaves, glendenning, emmerton, etc) any day. He has adapted his game for the wings, and has more dimension on a fourth line than any of the previously mentioned guys! Sheahan and Ferraro have under achieved compared to what many expected out of them, when they were drafted, Cally has done nothing but work his ass off and improve every year. He's not an enforcer by any means, but isn't afraid of anyone, and can also put the puck in the net. He deserves a shot.

also, although +/- can be deceptive, Mitch is a plus 13.

I don't have a problem with Mitch getting a call-up but your post is a little bit off base. Glendening, Emmerton, Sheahan, and Ferraro are all centers, which is why they've all been called up (minus Ferraro), and their presence has no effect on Callahan who is a winger. Callahan has been behind Nyquist (at the beginning of the season) and Jurco as far as winger depth, and he's clearly not as well established as either one of them at the AHL level, let alone the NHL level.

You do have a point about Eaves getting the call up over Callahan. I assume that Eaves is probably the better player overall, but why not give Mitch a try for a game or two.

GMRwings: "Well, in other civilized countries, 16 years old isn't considered underage. For instance, I believe the age of consent is 16 in Canada. There's some US states where it's 16 as well.

Not only do I log onto LGW at least once per day and have never heard Callahan referred to as Dirty Harry, but LGW isn't meant to cater exclusively to hardcore forum posters. Nicknames are supposed to make it easier to discuss the team, not to prove how funny and clever you are. Making up nicknames that no one else uses is obnoxious and unnecessary. Watch...

It looks like Yellow Mustard is going to miss some time after catching that elbow last night against the Sabres. Its really bad timing too, because our defense already thin with Big Poppa out with a concussion and Bandit serving his 5 game suspension. I would say this forces us to call up someone from GR, most likely Billy the Kid or The Player Formerly Known As Steve. We might be in trouble on the back end until we get some regulars back, since this leaves the Boogeyman as our #1 defenseman. And you know what that means!!!!
